Russian Legal Orientalism: Internatinal Law and the Conquest of Central Asia (PhD project)
Summary
In my PhD project, I examine how international lawyers assessed the Russian conquest and colonization of Central Asia by analyzing treatymaking, justifications for the use of force, and legal scholarship on Central Asia and the role of non-Western actors in international law more broadly. My research focuses on Russian legal debates and practices but also incorporates perspectives from Europe, the Americas, and Asia to present the Russian conquest of Central Asia as a significant chapter in the global history of international law and colonialism.
